Doulton, one of the world’s largest makers of ceramic filters, is supporting the W3 charity Project. The W3 Project is building a community of people who walk in the pursuit of health and wellness for everyone. This project helps to provide clean drinking water for those who do not have access to it.

According to Dee Rubina, Marketing Manager at Filtersfast.com:

“The W3 Project is thrilled to be in partnership with Doulton. This is a great way to provide clean, safe drinking water to those who are in need of it. This will touch many lives on so many levels and we couldn’t be more excited about this opportunity.”

The W3 Project is a partnership between FiltersFast.com, Wine To Water and TrekDesk. This charity project collects mile donations to inspire everyone to reach their fitness goals while helping others. As of this writing, over 22,000 miles have been donated to the W3 Project.

According to Tim Evans, Business Development Executive (North America), Doulton Water Filters, UK:

“W3 was a project that really caught our imagination…we feel sure that Doulton customers will be as thrilled as we are to know that with each Doulton purchase, they will be having a positive impact on the quality of life of people in desperate need, and it will not cost them an additional cent.”

Doulton has been a producer of eco-friendly, reusable cartridge filters for over 185 years. Doulton aims to provide safe, healthy, great-tasting drinking water wherever and whenever you need it. Millions of ceramic filters are produced by Doulton annually which currently sells in 140 countries worldwide.

One of the products Doulton sells is the Doulton HCPS Twin Counter Top System which is a two stage Doulton counter top water purifier system. This Doulton counter top system is a free standing system which utilizes Doulton ceramic technology for thorough home water filtration. It is easily installed on existing cold water faucets or mixer faucets via a diverter valve and the UltraCarb Ceramic Filter Candle fits this system and will filter out bacteria, cysts and chlorine.

Having clean water is a major concern and in some areas of the world people don’t have access to it. That’s why Filters Fast is making a commitment to bring clean water to those parts of the world that need fresh water. We are launching the W3 campaign, a unique water charity designed to raise money and draw awareness.

Filters Fast is specifically making a difference by walking. Several of our employees are making a corporate effort to do their part for this water charity by using what’s known as a “Trekdesk” to log each single mile they walk, then converting each mile into a donation that will go towards W3 and providing clean water access to those areas lacking it.

A TrekDesk is a combination desk and treadmill, allowing users to work out while they work. Instead of sitting all day you can walk, which will allow you to log miles that can be used towards our W3 charity. And with the start of a New Year, it’s a perfect time to reach your resolution of being healthy and getting into shape. W3 is an easy way to stay involved and also allows you to get in shape while helping out those less fortunate.

In addition, it’s a good idea to get your children involved. Childhood obesity is becoming a major issue, so encouraging your children to participate in this initiative will allow them to help a good cause, while also keeping them physically fit and active. We also invite high school, minor league and major league sports teams, college sororities and fraternities, and any other types of organizations to join this initiative.

Filters Fast is proud to announce the launch of our charity, W3- Work and Walk for Water. We want to do our part to make it possible for people around the world to have access to clean, fresh drinking water. Every time you flush your toilet, wash your hands, or take a sip from the hose on a hot summer day, remember that millions of people around the world are not able to enjoy these taken for granted pleasures. It is estimated that as many as 76 million people will die in the next 8 years of preventable water-related diseases. That is why now, more than ever, it is important for all of us to get up and do something.

So, how can you help? It’s easy! We have designed W3 so that you can choose to donate money, or donate miles, or both! For every mile you donate, a sponsored dollar will go to providing clean water to those who require it most. So don’t just sit there, do something! If your New Year’s Resolution is to get in better shape, you can reach your goal while helping those in need. Ask your family to sponsor your 20 mile donation (20 dollars), and reap the benefits of walking and helping others.

Here in the Filters Fast office, we have brought our commitment to providing clean water to the workplace. Two of our employees have chosen to install Trek Desk’s, which allow them to walk on a treadmill while at work. We believe wholeheartedly that it is possible that every man, woman, and child has access to fresh, clean water, and we want to do our part.

Filters Fast will donate 100% of all proceeds, and they will go directly to water projects. This will provide wells and clean water to those who need it most.
